Reviews

Sam Mickey has produced an insightful study of the intersection of religion, ecology, and philosophy. Drawing on such seminal thinkers as Thomas Berry, Gilles Deleuze, and Felix Guattari, the author weaves an engaging narrative of a way toward Whole Earth thinking. -Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim, Forum on Religion and Ecology at Yale University, USA


Sam Mickey has produced an insightful study of the intersection of religion, ecology, and philosophy.ã Drawing on such seminal thinkers as Thomas Berry, Gilles Deleuze, and Felix Guattari, the author weaves an engaging narrative of a way toward Whole Earth thinking. -Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim, Forum on Religion and Ecology at Yale University, USA Philosophically precise, ethically capacious, and accessibly written,ã Whole Earth Thinking and Planetary Coexistenceã is a wonderful addition to discourses on religion, philosophy, and ecology. Sam Mickey's careful and generous depictions of geophilosophy (informed by Deleuze and Guattari) and earth community (informed by Thomas Berry and others) serve as helpful guides to some of the vexing environmental issues facing different parts of the planet in the present day. His treatments of various religious and philosophical traditions demonstrate the vitality of multiple ways of human knowing and relating in an era of ecological change. Both erudite and accessible, this text is a wonderful guide for students and will also serve as a useful resource for interdisciplinary scholars of environmental philosophy and religion and ecology. -Christiana Z. Peppard, Fordham University, USA
